I have bought the book kinematics and dynamics of machinery, second edition in SI units but
in spite of my attempts I can't join the books website so I am not using supplimentary material.
It is a very hard subject, hard to understand problems.

Zz.
 
Summary: the solution was to contact the site administration.

There is an excellent chance you are not the only one with this problem who did not realize it was appropriate to bother the site admins. This thread will serve as a lesson for others so you efforts will result in some good.

We've all done stuff we are embarrassed about - don't worry about it.
